The management of actor and executive producer Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has apologised for his absence at the 15th edition of the Ghana Movie Awards despite emerging as one of the biggest winners on the night.
In a statement signed by his Public Relations Manager, Okyeame Akwaada Nyame, management explained that the actor was unable to attend the awards ceremony due to a prior professional engagement that had already been scheduled before organisers contacted him.
According to the statement, LilWin and his team deeply regret any inconvenience caused by his absence and reaffirmed their respect for the Ghana Movie Awards and its leadership.
“We sincerely apologise to the organisers, fellow nominees and the general public for LilWin’s absence on the awards night. Due to a prior professional commitment booked before the organisers reached out to them, he was unable to attend,” portions of the statement read.
